Manufacturing systems research encompasses a wide range of operations and management processes that support manufacturing activities along the value chain.
Production process research investigates manufacturing processes at the component level, with an emphasis on understanding and applying the underlying science. The main areas of research are the investigation and exploitation of today's industrial laser systems, the generic science underlying inkjet technology and improvements to nanomaterial processing to support a wide range of technological advances.
The Strategy and Policy group seeks to understand how companies, from technology start-ups to multinational manufacturers, and national governments can deliver sustainable economic growth.
